About Karina Napier
Karina Napier works and lives in Portland, Maine.
She communicates efficiently, lives creatively, and happens to love marketing.
Karina’s talent is seeing the remarkable, unique, and powerful talents of you, her client. Her goal is to tell everyone else.
Karina’s background is extensive.
A fascination with human behavior has been at her core for as long as she can remember.
In 2008 Karina received her Bachelor of Business Administration in Strategic Design & Management from Parsons School of Design, The New School. This shuttled her into a world of marketing, communications, sales, and business management.
As a requirement of her first agency job, she and her colleagues spent mornings “learning” to surf the web. They were at a digital advertising agency operating out of Dumbo, New York, in 2002. Online ads were a new concept, Google was only 4 years old, and the agency design team was learning how to animate what would one day be called GIFS.
Fast forward to teaching micro-finance and agriculture groups in West Africa with the Peace Corps, starting and running her own sea salt company in Maine, and working as a sales director for a women’s magazine. The accumulation of these experiences, combined with a family background of data analyzers and entrepreneurs, led Karina to study Google Analytics, read about conversions, and buy Google Ads.
TODAY
Today she specializes in digital (and traditional) marketing services. Via Seamless Studio, she offers the same skill set as a large marketing agency but at about 1/3 the price. The rules of operating a business online change swiftly, and Karina appreciates the time and patience it takes to pivot your strategy.
Offering traditional services like buying media for TV, radio, and local print can further your message with a hyper-local demographic. These mediums can build and reinforce trust if executed effectively.
Karina lives with her partner, their baby girl, two lovably incorrigible step children, and a wise dog. She dabbles in Buddhism, is a committed learner, grower (of self, food, plants, and flowers), earth lover, occasional painter, and interested listener.

““Marketing is not about being slimy, sleazy or scary. It’s not about tricking people, it’s not about taking advantage of people, or trying to get people to buy things they don’t want or don’t need.
It’s not about preying on people’s insecurities or manipulating people in any kind of negative way.
Modern marketing when you do it right...it actually brings out the best of your humanity, not the worst. Modern marketing requires you to to be honest, compassionate, generous, encouraging and truly serve others from deep understanding and respect.
Honest marketing is done so well you don’t even recognize it as marketing…
This is the age of transparency.””
